old and rundown
the hotel was very worn down. the hallway had a large round dent and stain in the hallway. the room was shabby. the couch was filthy and the bathroom was the worst. they left this bath mat for the tub which was covered in old grime. i complained and the desk person said to leave it for the maid the next morning. well i did and she just put it back on the tub in the same condition. we left a day early and treated ourselves to the E&O which is worth every penny! copthorne is not bad if you are looking for a place to stay but don’t judge it by western standards or you’ll be disappointed.
Comment from the hotel's management
Posted: 22-Jun-09Thank you for taking time to write a review of our property. The hotel is already 25 years old but it is well maintained and clean. Some couches are not new but are cleaned, as it is with routine shampoo wash. The bath mats are also shampooed frequently. If guests do see such noticeable damage like a large dent in the walls, please do not hesitate to let our staff know about it so that we can address the problem. While we are not a 5 star deluxe heritage hotel like E&O, we do strive to give our guests the best lodging experience possible.

good hotel for the price
Nice hotel in a quieter atmosphere than Batu Ferringi. Their private beach is not that great with little room to lay down your towel and is completely empty for most of the day. I think all rooms have a seaview, which provides good views during the day. My shower water pressure was very low, but can’t complain too much since I got a free upgrade to a junior suite (no more standard rooms available). Bus stops are right outside the hotel, both to Batu Ferringi and Georgetown. Overall, it was a good hotel with good service and low price.
Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks
Take the U101 bus to Batu Ferringi or Georgetown for RM 1.50 and don’t waste the 15-25 RM that taxi drivers will charge. Buses are clean and convenient.
